Didn't we see this with Piazza a couple of years back?

The way I remember it, Girardi taught Posada a lot of things about catching in the mid-90s, and then basically stepped out of the way as Posada took over his job. From 96 to 99, Girardi caught 120, 111, 78, and 65 games for the Yankees, while Posada caught 4, 60, 99, and 109 games for the Yankees.

I wonder how their past relationship plays a role in their dynamic now.

Laws are laws, so if Posada changes his name to Molina, he has to catch. Really, Girardi's hands would be tied at that point.

Jason -- the article says that Posada will catch tonight and Sunday, so he's probably DHing on Saturday.

I love Posada, but he has to realize Molina has a superior arm right now. Molina nailed something like 13 straight batters until the other night. Posada's shoulder just isn't right yet.

If Posada can DH when they face a running team, great. He can catch against a slower team. Watch him catch all 3 in TOR starting today.
